Projektmanagement ist herausfordernd: Innovative Ziele müssen durch interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit und unter Zeit- und Kostendruck erreicht werden. Die komplett überarbeitete 5. Auflage vermittelt Ihnen die notwendigen Kompetenzen. Grundlage dafür bilden moderne und praxisbewährte Methoden für die agile, klassische und hybride Projektabwicklung, ergänzt durch zwei Praxisbeispiele aus der Industrie sowie über 180 Abbildungen. Projekte können nur gelingen, wenn aus den Projektbeteiligten ein Team geformt wird, in welchem sich die individuellen Kompetenzen gegenseitig bereichern und ergänzen. Dafür braucht es gut entwickelte Führungskompetenzen, um die Rahmenbedingungen für Hochleistungsteams zu schaffen.Zahlreiche Vorlagen und Checklisten sowie ein umfassender Index machen dieses Kompendium zum optimalen Nachschlagewerk für Entscheidungsträger und alle Projektbeteiligten. Die Inhalte werden auf die Individual Competence Baseline (ICB) von IPMA referenziert. Damit eignet sich dieses Werk auch optimal als Vorbereitung für eine Zertifizierung.
